County engineer reports roadwork updates; board narrows paving on Highway 2 approaches
Summary
County Engineer Ryne Thornburg reported an employee‑involved accident on Route W46, quarry crushing, completed re‑grading with Lee County, patch work on Route W30 and spray patching on V64. On the DOT Highway 2 paving question, the board directed staff to recommend paving only the south approach at Jersey Avenue.
County Engineer Ryne Thornburg gave the board a multi‑item update on secondary‑roads operations. He reported an accident on Route W46 involving a county maintainer, ongoing crushing at the county quarry, completion of a re‑grade project on a county‑line road with Lee County, patching on a portion of Route W30 north of Stockport, and partial spray patching on Route V64. Thornburg also listed upcoming meetings he plans to attend, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' five‑year Red Rock dam meeting and an ARPA committee meeting.
Separately, Thornburg sought direction on whether the county should request paving of side‑road approaches for five county roads entering Highway 2 between Route V64 and Highway 1. The board's consensus was for the engineer to recommend paving only the south approach for Jersey Avenue because it is designated a Farm‑to‑Market road.
